Another from my shoot of the hoverfly and the morning glory. Here, the hoverfly looks like he is praising the God of pollen. D600, 150 macro, 1/1000, f16, iso 500. 40% crop. Suggestions, questions and other comments welcome.

Scott - This is again very awesome. Great resolution - pollen grains sticking to the body of the hoverfly look so neat. The pose of the fly says it all - seems like a happy camper.

I imagine the tiny hoverfly is raising its arms, the conductor in a symphony.
Let the music begin

Yes, the "arms raised" pose is reminiscent of church. The pollen coverage of the fly is amazing and the color combinations wonderful.

Unusual take in that the interior of the flower is kind of gossamer. Adds to the mystery of that area. Well done.
